Solution Steps

To find what 1 cubic mile represents in terms of cubic yards, we need to convert miles to yards and then cube the result since we are dealing with volume.

Step 1: Convert Miles to Yards

Given that there are 1760 yards in a mile, we start by noting this conversion factor: \[ 1 \text{ mile} = 1760 \text{ yards} \]

Step 2: Calculate Cubic Yards in a Cubic Mile

To find the volume in cubic yards, we cube the number of yards in a mile: \[ (1760 \text{ yards})^3 = 1760^3 \text{ cubic yards} \]

Step 3: Compute the Result

Performing the calculation: \[ 1760^3 = 5451776000 \text{ cubic yards} \]

Final Answer

The correct answer is: \[ \boxed{1760^3 \text{ cubic yards}} \] Thus, the answer is A.

The accompanying data are the caloric contents and the sugar contents (in grams) of 11 high-fiber breakfast cereals. Find the equation of the regression line. Then construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. Then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the given x-values, if meaningful. If the x-value is not meaningful to predict the value of y, explain why not. (a) x=150 cal (b) x=90 cal (c) x=175 cal (d) x=208 cal The equation of the regression line is y-hat=0.19x-22.65. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
